"A man was found at the perimeter fence of Moor Farm and was spoken to," Derbyshire Police wrote on Twitter on Friday.
"Despite media reports, no damage to the fence was found, and the man was stopped outside the grounds. No arrests were made and the man was sent on his way."
In a statement, Derby said they were "in discussion with Leeds club officials in relation to this incident".
Leeds did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Reuters.
